Can't tell if you are serious or a really weird troll but in case it is the former, in regards to your "warrior gene" article in the New Zealand Journal

1) Maori are not "black", we are Polynesian.
2) Chinese Men were shown to have similar levels of MAOA - yet are not over represented in crime statistics, did you over…

They are taking advantage of a pay-wall and the fact most people wouldn't understand the papers if they read them to basically go "we must be right because SCIENCE".

I have a wonderful pair from Zeira - black leather oxfords. They have lasted 5 years of almost constant use and are yet to need to be refurbished. They cost a bit but as I kill shoes due to having a weird walking pattern they have more than paid for themselves.

I think it is interesting problem - the idea that something that is flawed can still be an important contribution to a field. It is really easy to look back and say if I did that work now I would not have done it that way, however we can say that only due to the criticisms lobbied at earlier work. It is also erroneous…

Calico cats are the best friends of science. They demonstrate in their coats x-linked inactivation - if we did not have them (and mice) it would have taken us a lot longer to work this out and we would have persisted for longer in a fallacious dominant/recessive paradigm.

What you see in the coat pattern of a Calico…

I was more addressing the "oh hell we won't" - technically they are still complying with the ruling with a future plan of proving it was unjust.

However in regards to the legitimacy of the decision...

I believe the actual ruling was "you are killing to many whales for it to be research so stop doing that, but yeah you can keep doing research if you kill smaller numbers".

The experts on the news talked a lot about whether the Japanese would go back to get those smaller numbers or if the shame would be enough to stop…

I did read the article and the source article. It incorrectly states the age of consent, something that can be quickly checked via google. Due to this I question the quality of research that went into it. However even if this was a dozen people (meaning it was highly unlikely to be the wedding ceremony and thus it is…

Believe it or not Gawker articles can be wrong - Nigeria has their laws online a simple google shows that with paternal consent the 21 year old rule is over ridden.

The problem is that in her culture she is not seen as a child - so how are the attendees meant to know that the world considers this child rape. They also…

You said everyone who went to these weddings deserved to be poisoned - I was trying to demonstrate that it is more complex than everyone there supported the marriage and child rape and thus deserved to die.

It was a case of this girls marriage was horrid, killing her husband trying to escape makes sense, killing other…

Nigerian Marriage Law only specifies a minimum age without parental consent (21) . If the father agrees a girl can get married younger. As it was forced I am assuming her father consented.

It is of note that forced marriages are not allowed under Sharia which is one of the two legal systems in Nigeria so the marriage…

Most states let you choose which law you are tried under - about three in the north are sharia only however.

What about when crops fail or fire destroys the stored crops? You should know farming is a unreliable source of income. This year the dry season was very short with very low fruit (whole species of trees did not fruit all season). The only thing that meant people could feed their families was that sapphires were found…

If she was defending her life she should have killed her husband not poisoned food that a bunch of people are going to eat. Typically a whole village would attend these parties with young children generally going unsupervised. The exception would be her friends and female relatives who would be in her new compound…

When I was in Nigeria the fact I was unmarried in my early twenties was considered odd. I was excused as I was white and worked, but very few people wanted a daughter like me. The people who did tended to be younger and more educated which I took as a sign of positive change.

Marrying a 14 or 15 year old was considered…

Because your society thinks she is an adult and puts massive pressure on you to have sons. Younger wives means more babies and thus a higher likelihood of having a son.

I have been to a Nigerian wedding for a 14 year old bride. She had chosen her partner and was excited because as a first wife she gained a lot of respect. I did not support her marriage however I went because it would have hurt her and her family for me to not be there. They could not understand my hesitation as to…

I unfortunately collect them though I am lucky in that they all know they are terribly lucky and should stop taking advantage. I have lived with 6 over the years - 4 girls and 2 guys, so this was not due to them eating less than I thought or exercising more than I knew.

I also have a low normal BMI with no effort,…

I lost my faith reading the bible, I was lucky that I was young and had liberal parents. After some exploring I have settled for agnostic. There is no one religion that suits me as I believe they are all tarnished by the corruption bought by power. I do think that all religions however have a set of common themes…

I grew up with a (mostly) functional alcoholic father and to me though you may not be an alcoholic there is a lot in your story that reminds me of him. He has a good job, no issues at work and only a couple of minor driving infractions yet over time his drinking and lies took a massive tool on our family.

What stood…
